Re: Astrid & Ingrid (Edited)
in reply to a message by LMS
I really like both Astrid and Ingrid, but they're too similar to use together imo.
From your list I like...
Freya - I've seen a few of these in BAs recently.
Loki
Annika
Greta/Grete - As a nickname for Margareta?
Frida
Mikael
Niklas
Leif
Peder
Tyr
Of the others...
Sven reminds me too much of Sven Goran Eriksson.
Frans/Hans are too typical, if you know what I mean. If someone puts a German character in a book/film, they're usually called this in my experience.
Axel makes me think of car parts.
Gunnar makes me think of guns.
I don't like the "dis" on the end of Asdis or Eydis because it sounds like this, but with an accent.
I don't like the "Ag" in Agda, because I just don't like the sound.
I could probably grow to like a lot more of these, but they're too unfamiliar this time round.
